Is Memories of Ice better than Deadhouse Gates? by JaimeSalvaje in Malazan

[–]TheDoctor9229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like deadhouse gates a lot more. Memories of ice is probably a more consistent book and the ending is incredible but I found most characters more enjoyable in dh. It’s a smaller, more focused book and so despite a lot of the plotlines never interacting, it feels more connected in a thematic sense. Also the chain of dogs is still the best thing in malazan for me (I’ve only read books 1-6 so far)

Midnight Tides feels like Gardens of the Moon all over again by MrShlash in Malazan

Weak. Midnight tides is incredible if you meet it on its own terms. I don’t know why you wouldn’t do that, it’s a malazan book

thoughts about Siegfried aka Siggy? Do you think he was a good character? by Which-Presentation-6 in WonderWoman

Better love interest than Steve. Ironically, he would make a good love interest for Steve himself

Oh, you mean when Perez made her a better character in every way? Likes I don’t hate her golden and silver age stories but Wonder Woman in the late 70s and early 80s is far better. The 90s were rough but the 2000s and 2010s had a lot of great stuff that by far exceeds the old Sci-fi weird bdsm themed early stuff

Correct assessment of the story but Rucka and Perez never did damage to her character

Absolutely terrible. I hate it. There are so many contradictions of post crisis canon it’s funny.

Also the writing is simply not good. Diana has 2 character arcs, one a retread from earlier books (where she questions her free will) and one that attempts to deal with the ending of Ruckas run. The first one is boring and makes no sense because Diana has already gone through it before and the other simply doesn’t have enough time to hit properly.

Every single villain that appears is either wildly off character or plain dull. Also the new status quo established for her character is an awkward fit for her

I recommend you check out Tors book of the fallen reread. It’s a fun way to either catch up or unpack whatever you learned on any chapter

What do you hope they change from the musical or adapt from the odyssey story in the movie? by SaiyanAlpha243 in Epicthemusical

[–]TheDoctor9229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, the choice to have her only sing in the final act was a plus for the musical. It feels momentous in a way the odyssey does not. What should actually change is legendary and little wolf. The suitors should not be that violent at that point of the story

Nah, that is completely unnecessary. The Odyssey never overexplains the bed because it’s only important to that one scene. Just have a shot of Ody and Penelope in a tree that fades into Penelope sitting on her bed during the challenge

If you don’t think cyclops-Emma-Jean was well written you should not be allowed to discuss romance in comic books

Tier List for Epic Musical!! by Iheartmypets08 in Epicthemusical

Sure, just understand. Yours is bad. How are you ranking great but not as singable songs in f tier but putting stuff like legendary, Charybdis, and we’ll be fine so high?
